Lucky dude, I really want to ride SB, everything about it looks so impressive. I hope I can get over to Cali soon.

well, my friend said it makes his top 3 list of inverts. He's been on 7 or 10 or something like that. He said its not as good as Xcelerator or Ghost Rider, but still pretty good. It follows behind Raptor, and DG: Fire. He said the only problem with it is that they took out a lot of the lake, so there's not much of the ride over it. But it said that for the most part, it was pretty intense, but he thought the 0 homie g roll was mediocre. his favorite is the helix, he says you pull a lot of g's with that. I have 4 D+ so, I'm gonna have to run to knott's tomarrow, or something, cuz my parents sure as hell won't take me. But I'm gonna find a way to get there. Even if I'm grounded for a month, It will be worth it.

The Zero G Roll is supposed to be just that... mediocre in forces. Since when were you supposed to be plastered to your seat? Thats what keeps Kumba from being a top ride and same for other rides with Zero G's. Unless I truely float, whats the point of flying through a roll and being plastered to the seat?

Ive heard that its got true floater air and especially the fact that it rotates into the next turn, it feels like its more than just 1 zero g, but like 1.5 zero g's. I cant wait, its such a good lookni ride and the ending looks spectacular. I love how it rocks back and forth.

^ my brother went on it yesterday, I would have gone on it, too, if I didn't have crap grades. [:(] So yesterday I was depressed, but I finished a ride yesterday. I was depressed building.
Mr. Clause made a visit to Knott's, I'm sure he's putting Bollinger & Mabillard on his good list this year.[lol]
